6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَمَّنْ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (a.s) أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) تَزَوَّجَ سُرِّيَّةً كَانَتْ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ كِتَاباً أَنَّكَ صِرْتَ بَعْلَ الإمَاءِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) أَنَّ اللهَ رَفَعَ بِالإسْلامِ الْخَسِيسَةَ وَأَتَمَّ بِهِ النَّاقِصَةَ فَأَكْرَمَ بِهِ مِنَ اللُّؤْمِ فَلا لُؤْمَ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ إِنَّمَا اللُّؤْمُ لُؤْمُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْكَحَ عَبْدَهُ وَنَكَحَ أَمَتَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى الْكِتَابُ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ لِمَنْ عِنْدَهُ خَبِّرُونِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ إِذَا أَتَى مَا يَضَعُ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلا شَرَفاً قَالُوا ذَاكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ لا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ ذَاكَ قَالُوا مَا نَعْرِفُ إِلا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَلا وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام).


6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah ibn Maymun from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s), married a slave-girl who belonged to al-Hassan ibn Ali (a.s) and ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan was informed about it. He wrote a letter to him (the Imam) that said, ‘I have heard that you have become the husband of a slave-girl!’ Ali ibn al-Husayn wrote back to him saying, ‘With Islam, Allah has removed the lowliness and has completed the shortcomings, exonerated of the blame and there is no blame on a Muslim. Blame certainly is the blame of ignorance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged marriage for his male slave and married with his slave-girl.’ When the letter reached ‘Abd al-Malik he asked those near him, ‘Tell me who is such a man that when something that makes people low and humiliating comes to him it increases for him nothing other than honor?’ They replied, ‘That is ’Amir al-Mu’minin (‘Abd al-Malik).’ He (‘Abd al-Malik) said, ‘No, by Allah that is not it.’ They then said, ‘We do not know anyone to be as such except ’Amir al-Mu’minin.’ He said, ‘No, by Allah, he is not ’Amir al-Mu’minin but he is Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s)’”
